Thanks for the heads up on this issue John, you gotta keep an eye on the Ruskies, that’s for sure. Now that communism takes a back seat to scammerism these guys have really stepped up the pace of hacking into the coffers of the honest and ethical few of us still left. I wonder if Google is writing checks to Boris Shitinsky and wondering where in the world this dude came from. Any word on what Google may be doing to offset this tactic?

Hackers should be tied and beaten! :@

Oh well sometimes they are good at testing servers’ security and that’s the only credit I’m giving them

By the way, didn’t know you change your blog’s theme, looking good

Thanks for theP heads-up. I checked my code and it appears correct. How many people do not even change the code in the plugins and themes? Probably only a small percentage. Still it sound lucrative for a developer. Theme development may be the next cottage industry in Nigeria. That would help all the underemployed email scammers in the world.

You really should report the problem to Big G. You have a lot of readers, but they could send out a targeted message. Then the scammed can only blame themselves.

Don’t forget, the All-in-one-adsense plug-in also has a donate button, and if you add a %, it will randomly display the developers PUB ID for a certain % of pages.

I remember a plugin once, it could have been the “all in one adsense” plugin that came with a standard adsense code, but it also said in the settings to make sure you put your own code, otherwise you’d be supporting the developer -could that be the case here too?

But the scary thing is, if it’s possible for other plugins to “overwrite” adsense code with their own pub-ID. And we can’t even just check the sourcecode of plugins for adsense codes as it could be garbled multiple times.

many themes you upload on website contain with adsense code which shuld be removed or else you might be making business of other instead of yours….

YES but the point is whenever someone or something put their PUB ID on your site they are jacking you whether it’s innocently or not they know what they are doing and most people don’t
Man I have to make a PLUGIN LOL

Excellent article, I double checked all of my blogs page source as I use the same all-in-one-adsense plug-in, but found all were using my proper google ID, I assume when you upgraded it lost your custom setting and defaulted to the original?

Hey John its good u wrote about this plugin. In fact I used that some time ago and dunno why I was having two different impression count in my adsense. In fact I had one on my sidebars and on in the post(this one using the plugin).

So logically both channels in adsense should have same number of impression per day right? but when i used that i used to notice real count difference. Thats when I doubt that the plugin could have been using adsense account in turns and not really showing only mine all the time. I decided to dump it within just a few days of usage however. I better add my adsense code manually in my template code rather than using this.

That’s a scary thought with regards to adsense! I’ve just checked and double checked mine after reading this, thankfully everything was ok, thanks for the heads up on this, phew!
